If you’ve never had a migraine, you’re a lucky SOB. I can’t go to work now.

Help me... ;_;

Run a bath as hot as you can stand.

Sit on the edge with your feet in the water.

Put some ice packs/frozen peas/etc. on your neck.

The heat of the water combined with the cool of the ice packs will help direct blood flow away from your head, thus lessening the pressure in your brain.

I normally start vomiting because of the pain. The only thing that seems to help for me is to sleep it off.

At least you can take ibuprofen for your migraines. I get terrible migraines too, but I’m allergic to all OTC painkillers except tylenol (which does absolutely nothing).

I wear Gunnar glasses. Those yellow tinted computer reading glasses as my vision gets fucked after hours. My officemate borrowed them one day when he had a massive headache and it went away almost immediately. He has his own pair now.

We are called the Cult of the Amber Ninja. I just say they are jealous of our glasses.

Same here, which sucks because it means I throw up the painkillers that would help the pain...

My acupuncturist told me to try this once. It didn't work for me but it works for others. Maybe it will work for k-roll.

Jeez. As I understand it, in addition, any light in the room, a desire to be shot in the head to end it all, followed by vomiting, are usually the true signs of a migrane. I suppose there’s different kinds.

I’ve had success with it, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a full-blown migraine, just some bad headaches.

I used to vomit as a result from the pain when they started in middle school. I haven’t since thank god, but the pain is too much for me still now.

The strange thing is that light is the only thing that has never irritated me.

That’s bizarre. A functional Migraine. My brother in law got them frequently, stress induced mostly but he just ate Excedrin like candy and powered through them and eventually ended up with scar tissue in his stomach and slowed digestion. A surgery later helped that but now, since Botox is an approved medication for it, hes had quite a reduction in occurrences.

good luck.

Never have. But my wife does. Do you get the ones that make you loose part of your vision?

I know that feel, bro. Just take it easy.

I had a migraine kick in during the middle of a meeting a couple weeks ago. Trying to make eye contact while 90% of my vision was blocked by the aura was a bit too much to handle. Somehow nobody called me out on shutting my eyes for the rest of the meeting. Migraines suck.

Many years ago I was in class and I started feeling a migraine coming on. As I was riding my bike back to my dorm I hit a small bump in the sidewalk and blacked out for a short period of time.

Did you black out whilist riding the bike? What happened afterwards?

CalzoneGolem > K-Roll-PorscheTamer

Yes the slight bump caused me to fall off my bike and pass out for a short time. I woke up and walked the rest of the way to me dorm and wished I was dead for awhile.

Sounds like the time I had to drive home from work for a migraine, in rush hour. Worst, 40 minutes of my driving life... I imagined running over all the cars in my way via monster truck.

It’d be so loud and bouncy in that monster truck.

Is the migraine like trying to pass John 5 - Black Widow of La Porte on Expert? Or Buckethead - Jordan on Expert? Or Megadeth - This Day We Fight ?
